Horse Racing Tips & Predictions for Tuesday 27th August 2024 at Bellewstown, Ripon and Stratford

Today’s Focus Races

As we look ahead to today’s races, there’s a lot to consider across the different courses. At Stratford, the 4.55 sees Glynn facing just three rivals, making this a key race to watch. Despite a recent win at Newton Abbot, his competitors like An Tailliur, returning after a long break, could pose a challenge.

At Ripon, the 5.00 race features Bamboo Bay, who has been steadily improving and now looks well-positioned to perform. Bellewstown offers intrigue in the 6.15, where Fiona Maccoul, after a tricky debut, seeks to showcase her true potential. Each race presents unique challenges, with various horses showing potential, making for a day of thrilling competition.

Nap of the Day

Demo Image
Beshtani (3:23 Sandown) @ 8/1
Reasoning
Beshtani looks like a strong contender, particularly after his near-miss at Epsom and solid run in the Summer Mile. With Hamad Al Jehani's stable in good form, Beshtani's forward-riding style suits the race.

Fiona Maccoul is our Nap of the Day, with the 6.15 at Bellewstown offering a chance for her to build on her debut experience. Last time out, she faced a tough start, finding herself boxed in and unable to find a clear run until it was too late. Despite these challenges, she finished fifth and showed a late burst of speed that suggests she has more to offer. With that experience under her belt, Fiona Maccoul is expected to break better and showcase the talent that was evident in her strong finish last time. This race offers her the perfect platform to demonstrate her true ability.

Demo Image
Naomi Lapaglia (3:30 Yarmouth) @ 12/1
Reasoning
Naomi Lapaglia is a strong contender, having shown her class in group races at Ascot and Haydock. The ten-furlong distance suits her, and Spencer's horses often perform well in competitive races.

Glynn is poised to deliver another strong performance in the 4.55 at Stratford. After a commanding victory at Newton Abbot just five days ago, he’s shown significant improvement in his jumping ability over fences. Carrying a 7lb penalty today, Glynn seems well-prepared to handle the competition, especially given the limited field of three other runners. His primary competitors, Jet of Magic and Ajp Kingdom, have yet to make a mark over fences, while An Tailliur’s long absence from the track raises doubts about his readiness. Glynn’s recent form and improved jumping make him the favourite to succeed here.

Demo Image
Rock d’Oro (2:50 Sandown) @ 4/7
Reasoning
Rock d’Oro looks well-positioned for success in the 2:50 at Sandown after a promising debut at Chelmsford, finishing just behind the now Group 2-winning Bay City Roller. With Beckett's runners improving with each outing, and David Egan aboard, Rock d’Oro is a strong contender for his first win.

In the 5.00 at Ripon, Bamboo Bay looks set to capitalise on his recent resurgence in form. After a solid second-place finish at Beverley, where he finished strongly behind Pons Aelius, Bamboo Bay appears to be regaining the form that saw him winning last June. His performance last time out suggested that he is well-handicapped and could be ready to take advantage of this opportunity. If he continues on this upward trajectory, he should be a strong contender in this race, especially given his ability to stay on well in longer trips, which bodes well for today’s challenge.

Demo Image
Windcrack (3:55 Sandown) @ 5/2
Reasoning
Windcrack is the standout pick in the 3:55 at Sandown. After a decisive mile victory, Andrew Balding’s filly seems to be improving and suits the drop in distance. With three-year-olds excelling in this race recently, Windcrack is well-placed to continue her progression despite a 5lb rise in the weights.

Zayer is another horse worth watching in the 2.55 at Ripon. Having narrowly missed out on victory in his last two starts, Zayer is well-positioned to finally get his win today. His most recent effort at Haydock saw him just beaten by Leonardo Dax, with the form being boosted since by a win from the third-placed horse, Angel Hunter. Dropping down to five furlongs today should play to Zayer’s strengths, allowing him to utilise his speed more effectively. Given his consistent performances, Zayer stands out as a strong contender for victory.
